Politically Risky

Is China’s state capitalism destined to destroy the free market system that underpins the West’s hegemony? Is it even remotely possible that China’s leaders will allow the economy to take a hard landing? Join political risk theorist Ian Bremmer for a discussion of why China is #7 in his list of Top Ten Risks for 2012 (versus the U.S., at #4)

His most recent book is “The End of the Free Market: Who Wins the War between States and Corporations”. He thinks there is no risk whatsoever that the world will end in 2012.
